Hello, welcome back to my slow English vlog.

Today, I'm going to be showing you what I eat in a day.

I'm not sure why so many people are interested in this topic.

Today, I started with buying a juice from the market near my house.

This is a carrot and orange juice.

I love the combination of carrots with orange juice.

The orange juice is sweet and the carrots are creamy.

So together it creates a sweet and creamy drink.

I also added a scoop of creatine because I normally make a banana smoothie.

But today I decided to just stick with my juice.

I normally don't eat much for breakfast, but I eat an early lunch.

I eat lunch around 11 or 12, usually also something light.

Before anything, though, I wake up and I drink water.

I usually get hungry around 10 a.m.

If not earlier, like 9.

I'm not starving, but I'm getting hungry.

I'm getting there.

I usually don't have an appetite for breakfast, for big breakfasts.

Like a lot of people that I know eat eggs for breakfast every morning.

But to me, that's a little bit too heavy.

It makes me feel nauseous a little bit to think of eating eggs first thing in the morning.

I need my smoothie, my banana smoothie,

you guys know, and or or a juice, something light.

Something light in the morning satisfies me.

And after this, I have an appointment at the dermatologist to check my skin, my acne.

Then I'll come home and eat a salad that I have in the fridge.

It's been waiting for me.

So I'm excited because today my lunch is prepared.

Usually I have to prepare everything on the day or at the moment, but I'm excited for this salad.

I'll show you guys a sneak peek of my lunch.

I'm so excited.

I bought this yesterday for dinner or no for lunch

but it's so big I didn't finish it

and I knew I was like I'll have lunch for tomorrow as well

and I also have a leftover coffee so I'll I'll be having this later for lunch as well.

Although I am feeling a little peckish, like I could eat something very light.

I think I'll need it because I'm biking, I'm taking the bike to the dermatologist

and I might be hungry when I get there

and then I'll be like grumpy or in a bad mood because I'm hungry.

Maybe I could make a smoothie.

I could have a smoothie and a juice.

That sounds good, right?

Let's do that.

So let me show you guys once again everything I add.

It's 9.30 right now.

I need to hurry if I'm going to make it to my dermatologist appointment it.

So let's do this quick.

One banana, a handful of spinach.

By the way, guys, look at this cheesecake.

It's so cool.

Look at that.

It's so cool.

I got this yesterday for dinner.

Well, like for dessert.

It looks better than it tastes.

It doesn't taste that good, but look how amazing that looks.

I had to try it.

I might have this for dessert in the afternoon.

Then I usually add creatine, but I obviously already added creatine to my juice, so there's no need.

I'll just add some kefir.

I love kefir.

And half the spoon of this protein, the blueberry flavor.

It's really good. And that's it.

Now we blend.

And I just drink it straight out of the blender.

I thought I wasn't going to have my smoothie today, but I ended up having it.

Is there anything that you think you won't do, but you always end up doing?

Tell me in the comments

or yeah tell me in the comments now i love my banana smoothies with protein powder banana spinach peanut butter

um because it's filling it's filling keeps me full it doesn't make me feel stuffed to the brim but it's filling.

What's a meal you have for breakfast that keeps you feeling satisfied?

Not too full, but not too hungry either.

All right, guys, I'm going to finish this smoothie, my juice as well.

And then I'm going to bike to my appointment.

I'll bike back.

And then it'll probably be time for lunch because we eat all day long.

It's all we do as humans.

We just eat and eat and eat and I love it.

I love eating so much.

It's my favorite part of the day So I'll see you guys at lunch.

All right I lock my door I take off my hat and I want to show you guys

The facial products that I got for my skin because I've got

some irritation like my skin is irritated so i got a prescription from the dermatologist and some expensive facial products

as usual so expensive life is expensive

while i was out i didn't eat anything i'm very hungry right now

because i rode the bike you know it was a lot of energy

so let's eat so we're having leftovers like i said a salad

and my leftover coffee from yesterday oh and my juice i didn't end up finishing my juice.

So, I'll have it now.

I love juice.

Juice gives me so much more energy than coffee.

What's something that gives you more energy than something else?

For example, coffee gives me more energy than tea

or you could change up the sentence a little bit

and say salad is healthier than pizza

but pizza makes me feel fuller than salad does switch it up add your sentences in the comments

and I'll let you know if you're right or wrong so I want you guys to see my setup here

usually i'll put on a youtube video i'm actually learning sign language

119

And I will see you guys when I eat next.

120

So guys, I'm about to record an episode for the Slow English podcast.

121

And I'm snacking a little bit.

122

These are like dried strawberries with like spicy stuff on them.

123

They're so good.

124

These ones are my favorite.

125

Then there are these ones.

126

their mangoes and chileas.

127

Amazing.

128

And finally, cherries.

129

Ugh. So good.

130

But the best part is the combination of these three.

131

Amazing.

132

But yeah, so that's what I ate.

133

I'm snacking on right now before my video.

134

And then, after this, maybe I'll make some dinner and I'll show you guys.

135

All right, see you later.

136

Hello.

137

I'm done recording.

138

You guys might think that this is early, too early to be having dinner, but I have early dinner.

139

What can I say?

140

So I'll show you guys what I have for dinner and then maybe I'll have a snack at night.

141

But yeah, right now I'm hungry, so I decided to eat.

142

So I'll show you guys what I eat.

143

All right, guys, let me show you what I have here

144

because this is an interesting mix that I'm about to make

145

that is actually very famous with the people that know me

146

because I eat this every single day every day I'm not

147

I'm not kidding I'll give you guys instructions on how to make it

148

but basically these are the ingredients okay so we have spinach frozen tuna,

149

one avocado, one lime, a little bit of like a little sliver I think,

150

a slice of purple onion, and some broccoli.

151

We're gonna make the best combination ever, ever.

152

So we'll start with our pan.

153

So I start by chopping up my garlic.

154

I usually have music on and I'm dancing while I cook

155

but YouTube demonetized me in my last video so I have to be careful now.

156

There we go.

157

So in my pan I'll put one scoop coconut oil.

158

I'll just use all of it whatever.

159

Spoons I got from Thailand.

160

I love these spoons.

161

And then we heat this up for a little bit.

162

So, while the coconut oil is heating up, I'm pretty sure I've shown you guys this before.

163

Like I eat this a lot.

164

Just a little slice of, I don't know, is this red onion or purple onion?

165

Actually I'm not completely sure.

166

I don't know why.

167

I think I call this red onion, right?

168

I don't know.

169

I think I've always said this in Spanish, cebolla morada.

170

Is this purple onion or red onion?

171

I don't know.

172

Sorry guys.

173

I don't know in English because I've only ever said them in Spanish.

174

Mix it up until it's all golden.

175

Now let's move over here.

176

I'll chop up some broccoli.

177

Just into little pieces here.

178

Guys, tell me what songs you're listening to lately.

179

I've been listening to Latin Mafia and Rusowski way too much.

180

I feel like everybody's tired of being around me because I just listen to that all day.

181

It's getting really annoying.

182

But I love them.

183

I love their new album.

184

I love their old albums.

185

It makes me really happy.

186

Okay, so we got this going.

187

I'm going to turn down the heat just a little bit.

188

I usually like to just put stuff away as I go.

189

so it's not too much.

190

Alright, now we get our next pan.

191

Next pan.

192

Set this on a burner.

193

Alright, I'm looking for the best angle for you guys.

194

And now I'm going to get some of this tuna, and we're going to put this in here so that it can start melting because it's frozen, you see?

195

It's frozen.

196

This weekend was really fun.

197

I went to see some friends in my hometown that I hadn't seen in a really long time.

198

Today was like such a great day.

199

I didn't do much.

200

Like I just hung out.

201

You know, I went to my dermatologist appointment.

202

The thing is like I was feeling a little sick.

203

Oh yeah, so after lunch actually, I was having my salad.

204

And then all of a sudden I just like started feeling this deep, deep pain here in my shoulder.

205

And it just like went all the way around

206

to the other side

207

and like my whole back was just like cramped up I

208

was like I couldn't move I like I grabbed my computer

209

and like I walked to the bed I was like I was like screaming the whole time

210

and then finally I laid down

211

and I was just like I laid there with my computer

212

and it really hurt like I was actually like moaning in pain for a

213

while just like uh

214

and then finally like um after maybe like 10 minutes of laying there it went away

215

and it was okay i thought i was gonna have to

216

like put like icy hot do you guys know what icy hot is it's like the cream that's like icy

217

but it's also hot you know what i'm talking about

218

and then i thought i needed ibuprofen

219

but i was okay i felt better just like

220

that all right let's put this lid on

221

and then warm this up a little to kind of defrost it

222

but yeah so that happened and then i just worked on my computer i actually i I recorded, well, I wrote a lot.

223

So like I was looking at a lot of YouTube videos, channels, like getting inspiration from these people.

224

And then, you know, I remembered like what I should be doing and I should be making more positive content, you know, more talking about the good side of things

225

and like kind of sharing my mindset with you guys because I know that's what you love.

226

Like you love my videos because of that.

227

So I was thinking, I'm like, I think I need to continue like thinking of better ideas

228

and like better scripts and more original content

229

and also I was thinking of different ways to to make the classes the videos engaging

230

and fun and you can learn something from them to also have a good time you know

231

so yeah it was really nice I wrote a lot and then I recorded like three videos

232

and then what else did I do I finished a lot of different chores

233

that I had to do like with the bank

234

and with different like ads and sponsorships and emails and stuff

235

and yeah I just did that and now it's time to eat.

236

I'm excited.

237

I didn't go to the gym.

238

I usually feel really guilty about not going to the gym but I feel okay right now.

272

you know swaying a little bit moving my shoulders

273

279

Okay, this has a little bit left, but it's also almost done.

280

Now, while I wait for that last little bit to be done, I always like to make my bowl.

281

So I grab a bowl.

282

Sorry, guys, I can't really turn.

283

I grab a little bit of an avocado.

284

Okay, how about there?

285

I'm squatting.

286

Now, with my avocado, we slice it in two, and we scoop out the insides.

287

Okay, and then, I use a full avocado always, because one half is not enough.

288

So, we get the core out.

289

You gotta go in hard.

290

Boom.

291

Like a pro.

292

I eat avocados every single day.

293

294

At least one every day.

295

297

Get it all mashed up to perfection.

298

So we just go ahead and add our veggies to that mix.

299

To our avocado mashed.

300

Our mashed avocado bowl.

301

You guys know I eat this every single day.

302

It's actually just like a joke at this point.

303

and we have some of this but I don't add all of it because you don't really need all of it

304

I feel like it's too much if you add all of it

305

so I like add half and then we squish that up

306

it's a little bit too big this time it's okay look at

307

that beautiful beautiful wow and today I'm feeling a little crazy so let's add in some of these crickets

308

318

They're so simple.

319

You know, it's just like to add a little bit of texture.

320

It's just like a little crunch.

321

So like if I just make a little something here, add everything to it, and then squeeze some lime.

322

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
